    Door reflector parts order mystery

    Had a tech come fix a small thing on my new MY in mid August. He noticed that the car was missing the driver door reflector, mounted on the inside of the door panel when looked at from behind. Had not noticed that. He said he would order one and bring it back and install it. He ordered it that...

    SF Bay Area to Bend, OR -- SC suggestions?

    Last time I drove my CA car to Oregon it was vandalized owing to the CA plates. Makes sure you take them off if you’re going to park it in public.

    Customizable trunk open height for home v/s elsewhere

    I’ve sent Elon at least five twitter messages about this, and notified Tesla through the bug reporting and email, etc. with no comment from anyone. Been 4 months now since I asked them to please do this. Simple request.

    Passenger Door Won't Open

    Turns out the door trim had come off, hanging up and keeping the door from opening. The tech pushed on the door from the inside while I pulled. Then he reinstalled it correctly and checked the others. All good.

    Passenger Door Won't Open

    Did the 2020.32.3 update yesterday and just noticed the driver side passenger door will not open from inside or out. Nor will the push button inside work. Window comes down like it's going to open but will not. Happen to anyone else? Any cures?

    Best Ceramic Coating for White Seats?

    Try a q-tip soaked in acetone, but in an inconspicuous spot. Let it sit for say 30 seconds and wipe it with a clean light colored microfiber towel. Should work.

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    We had a Bolt. We loved it, but it was an entry level car, we wanted nicer. It's Metallic Silver not gray, my mistake. We only use FSD on the freeway, it's been glitchy, but I'm hopeful it gets better soon.

    Home detailing/coating - you can do it!

    My buddy said the paint was fine, unless I wanted a show car, which I don't. So I coated it. Hopefully yours is the same!

    Home detailing/coating - you can do it!

    I'm seeing alot of posts about people going to shops to get their MY detailed and then ceramic coated. I'm not talking about a wrap, just ceramic coating. Yet from my experience this is still quite expensive - from $800-$2000 depending on who you go to, and if it's cheaper then you have to...

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    We placed an order for a Mach-E immediately, like the first day. As time went on, and Covid, we realized we would not see the car until 2021 most likely. So we opted for the Model Y in June. In retrospect, although the Mach-E would be I think a more 'fun' car, and would certainly turn a few...

    Mobile connector button is supposed to open charge port right?

    If the car is ‘sleeping’ the button does not work. Need to open a door and wake it up.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    2+ months. And PG&E rebates in CA require plates/registration, which takes a couple months too.

    Software Update for "Home" Tailgate setting (please!)

    I have an epoxy floor in my garage. I went to Amazon and bought two yellow plastic car wheel stoppers that I glued to the floor at the perfect spot, now I drive in hit them and it’s just right. Easy.

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    We were one of the first to put a deposit on the Mach E. I really was stoked about it, love the look. But after COVID, it became clear the car would not be available until Fall or even later, so we cancelled in late June when our backup MY reservation came up. We love the MY. It has good looks...

    Not in California, the most regulatory-intense place on earth.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    The cord of course came with the MY. The 14-50 adapter from Tesla was $35. The parts and labor for my particular plug install was $150. So total cost was $185.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    I asked the licensed electrician who told me a simple plug install from an existing panel does not require permits or inspection. Didn't add any new breakers, done to code.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    For all those who think the only way to charge at home is to use the Tesla charger for $500, it's new.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    If you're cheap like me you can skip the $500 Tesla charger ($750 with install) and buy the Nema 14-50 adapter they sell and just install the plug. I'm getting 30 miles/hour of charge which for me is plenty fast. Total cost was $185. My charger comes on at 12:00am and by 8:00 am I've added 240...

    Software Update for "Home" Tailgate setting (please!)

    I doubt I'm the only one with this wish for the Tesla engineers: When I pull in the garage the tailgate will hit the garage door if I don't set the adjustment to lower the tailgate, so I did. But then everywhere else in the world the tailgate only opens like it's in my garage, and I bump my head...

    Random rear hatch opening and alarm sounding

    Sometimes the little rubber bumpers up in the hatch are screwed out too far, which tightens the gap on the hatch when closed, but also messes with the tailgate closing correctly. Make sure it closes and locks when you’re standing behind it. If not, tighten those by hand a bit so it closes easier.

    Nav on Autopilot Issue

    Rather scary event on Nav on Autopilot yesterday. Driving 70 on a 65mph freeway (divided roadway) that turns into a 2-way 55mph (undivided) road at one point. Without notice at the point where the road turns to 55 the car rapidly slowed from 70 to 55 (like hard-braked) and worse, the wheel...

    Ticket for Lane change

    Not sure how to say this in a politically correct manner and certain do not mean to offend, but if you are a person of color I think you may well have a potential lawsuit . This sounds totally f'd up.

    Perfect MY

    Our gray LR AWD was near perfect as well. Regarding charging your phone...why didn't you use the inductive phone charger that comes in the car, in the forward part of the center console? Unless of course your phone doesn't do inductive charging. If it does, you just lay it in the slot and it...

    Model Y post-shutdown humming

    My new Y has a constant hum under the passenger front wheel/dash area. Like a fan running. Everything is shut off, including sentry mode and interior cooling. The garage is like 55 degrees, so not warm. Seems the battery lost about 8-10% last night. I see this is happening to others. Any ideas?
